    ::insert lame pun referring to a Led Zeppelin song::

    A very good read, but i will say that with some of the outrageous stories of debauchery: take them with a grain of salt.

    Summon Zoso

    Pure LedZep. This is as good as it gets for Led Zeppelin books. From Jimmy Page and the Yardbirds to No Quarter, it has it all. The Aleister Crowley influences, the groupies, the whole story.
